French Revolution

It is the late 18th century (1700's). Due to the recent success of the American Revolution, a revolution has erupted in France as well. You are a French citizen, and do not want to live in all out chaos (Hobbes' state of nature). You decide you will seize power and help stabilize France.
In order to do this, you must write a pamphlet to alert your fellow citizens as to why you are the ideal candidate for the job. This pamphlet must include the following:

A) A list of at least two (2) current problems you see in France

- One (1) solution that you will offer to each of these problems

B) A list of at least one (1) change you will implement in the government

- Each change must be supported by one of the enlightenment thinkers

C)Why you are better suited to lead than King Louis XVI, Robespierre, and Napoleon

You must choose at least 1 of these 3 leaders

For each leader you choose, you must include:

- Short Biographical information

- One quote and reflection of what it means about that person

- One (1) interesting fun fact about person

- One (1) paragraph that explains why you are a better leader than them

D) At least two (2) pictures that represent you

The church has too much power within our society. In order to move on, to make better choices we must abolish their old time thinking and step forward. When I am elected to represent France, I will lead our country from a new non religious way. Religion will still be allowed, however, it will not take control of our society by holding us back. The second problem I see in France is, the social structure. The church is the highest power followed by nobles and peasants. Is it right that peasants make up 97% of our population? Not in my opinion, as a nation we should make up a democracy and pick great leaders such as myself to represent us. Together we will steadily become the richest country and will be recognized all over the world.

As a Nation, we should lay down some rules. I believe that we should abolish the rule of the church and move on as a democracy. Like John Locke, I believe that we should have a democracy. Locke believed rule should be with the people with a central ruled government.

King Louis XVI is a worthy opponent but I feel his tactics are horrid.
